4th of July Lemonade (Circa 1900)
This is the lemonade that appeared at 4th of July picnics in the park or pasture at the turn of the century. Wonderfully tart, it was kept icy cold by blocks of ice floating in a 30 gallon crock.
15-18 lemons
Sugar
Water
Microwave the lemons for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes
(This is an updated the recipe to make the squeezing easier)
Squeeze lemons to make 3 C. juice
Syrup: Boil together 1 C. water and 1 1/2 C. sugar
Mix lemon juice, syrup, and 5 C. water
Makes 2 quarts; serve over ice
